Birmingham Remembrance Day 2024: The Remembrance Day events taking place in Birmingham and West Midlands

Birmingham will fall silent on Sunday, as the city remembers the fallen at its annual parade and Remembrance Day service.

There are a number of events taking place in and around Birmingham to mark the event.

In Birmingham, a Day of National Remembrance Service will take place on Colmore Row, opposite St Philip’s Cathedral, on 10th November, attended by military veterans and representatives of the region’s Armed Forces.

The parade will include ex-service personnel, regular, reserve and cadet units from the Armed Forces who, with representatives of other local uniformed organisations, will march on from Temple Row from 10.30am.

At 10.50am the Lord Mayor of Birmingham Councillor Ken Wood, Major General Timothy Hodgetts CB CBE KHS, OstJ DL, the Bishop of Birmingham and Rt Reverend Dr Michael Volland, and the Chaplain Reverend Nikki Thornhill walk from the Council House to Colmore Row, with senior representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force. The service will begin at 10.55am.

A two-minute silence will be observed at 11am, after which wreaths will be laid at the Cenotaph by representatives from the Armed Forces, veterans’ organisations, faith and community groups. The event will end with a march past at 11.40am.
